I love Stockholm because I was born and raised here and this is where I got most of my memories from – both good and bad. Stockholm is my home and I know how to get around here so in that way its the safest place to be for me. But I also hate Stockholm for its strictness and all the rules and regulations.

And people living here need to loosen up a little bit. Other than that, it’s all good
